If you select a single machine, you’ll only see its installed applications. The contents of this pane depends on the computers you selected in the Network pane.
The Software Inventory tab shows all the applications that Remote Installer found in your network. The Welcome tab is helpful when you try the tool for the first time. The main area is the pane at the center of the application. Remote Installer recognizes Active Directory containers, but you can also work with custom groupings. The Network pane on the left displays all the machines in your network. As with Microsoft Office, you can minimize the Ribbon to get more space for the rest of the panes. I stopped using this toolbar after a while because most of the functions can also be accessed by right-clicking objects.
The Installer tab contains all the icons you need to install software or scan your network. If you get lost with all your customizations, you can use this icon to reset everything to its original state. I found the Reset Workspace function useful. If you closed one of the tool’s panes, this is the place where you can bring it back. The main purpose of the Application tab is to customize Remote Installer. Below is the Ribbon with two tabs: the Installer tab and the Application tab. As with Microsoft Office, you put your most important shortcuts there. Let’s have quick look at the different areas of Remote Installer. And, if you don’t like the tool’s colors, you can choose from various different skins.Įven though Remote Installer is simple and intuitive to use, I recommend skimming through all the panes before you begin working with the tool because this will allow you to adapt the tool to your work style. You can also move panes to different locations or undock them from the main application window. You can simply remove the panes and icons you don’t use. The point about this design is that it makes the user interface highly customizable. Many controls have duplicates, which means that there are often multiple ways to accomplish a task. The complex appearance stems from the fact that the UI is highly customizable. Remote Installer is equipped with a flat learning curve. When you first launch Remote Installer, you might be overcome by all its panes, bars, and icons.
